Course Description
The focus of this course will be to develop a well-honed grasp of grammar through repetition and varied learning techniques. We will begin to learn the basics of well-written paragraphs and beginning essays and add to those skills in a foundational manner, preparing them for advanced language arts and beyond. We will seek to inspire great creative writing through reading rich literature, and learn critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. No previous knowledge of grammar concepts is necessary.
Literature books will be written in. Please purchase a personal copy.
Winston Grammar: *The worksheets and notes will be printed from our Google Classroom assignments page. The card set is the only purchase for grammar and is used for the Advanced LA class as well.
